[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I felt bad for her but her psych assessment indicated narcissistic and histrionic personality disorder, and I believe that's accurate. She hated her two victims until the day she died and felt no remorse for the horror she single-handedly inflicted on her children. Two kids felt she should be released, but two did not.

Did she get everything she deserved in the divorce settlement? No. Was she wealthy and perfectly comfortable? Yes. Cheating sucks, and Dan and Linda were not great people, but she should have let it go and rebuilt her life. [/quote]

Wealthy?

There was $2M in marital assets and she got $20K of that. [/quote]

That was the lump sum, I agree not good, but she was paid $16k/month. That was a lot of money back then. [/quote]

Sure $16k is a lot but she paid for his med school and law school working and raising kids …. You think it’s not wild that she was not give the marital assets and she lost her kids and she didn’t get the $16K while separated and she couldn’t afford a lawyer do she represented herself.

It’s financial abuse all around. [/quote]

A lot of women in that time and still today sacrifice everything for their husband’s career and end up discarded, financially vulnerable, humiliated, and emotionally devastated. But crossing the line into killing someone means accepting the consequences too.

What makes the case tragic is that two things can be true … she was treated terribly, and she still made a deliberate choice that destroyed a lot of people’s lives, including her children’s.[/quote]

I half agreed with you.

What makes this case tragic is that HE and she made deliberate choices that destroyed their children’s lives.

He made decades of premeditated and well planned decisions that destroyed her and his children children’s lives.

He planned, paid for, and executed extreme abuse while in his right mind without any mental illnesses.

She made terrible decisions with an extreme mental illness and committed non-premeditated murder.

Except it was premeditated. She bought the gun a month before their wedding, then went to their house when she knew they'd be asleep. What exactly do you think her intentions were?

Yes, Betty Broderick's murder of her ex-husband, Dan Broderick, and his new wife, Linda Kolkena, on November 5, 1989, was legally determined to be premeditated. Although Betty claimed she did not intend to kill them and acted in a rage, the jury found her guilty of two counts of second-degree murder, indicating they did not accept her defense of temporary insanity or lack of planning.[/quote]
